When will the Ohio River crest?
The timing of the Ohio River's crest can vary based on current weather conditions, rainfall, and upstream water levels. To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information, it’s best to consult local weather services or the National Weather Service, which provide forecasts and river stage predictions. Monitoring these sources will give you the latest insights on when the river is expected to crest in specific areas.
How long after rain stops does it take for a creek or river to crest?
The crest of a flood stage can vary greatly depending on the number of tributaries and the distribution of rain or snow melt. The lower (downstream) portions will almost always crest later due to the movement of the water volume. Even after the crest, which is the high point of the water, flooding can continue for lengthy periods until the water drains. The time required for this is also dependent on additional rain, blockage of exit paths, or comparative elevation for the flooded areas.
What happens when rivers burst their banks?
"Crest" means the highest the water level is expected to get. "Flood stage" is the water level where the river is over it's banks, hence "flooding". A river can crest below, at, or above it's flood stage. It can crest three inches above flood stage (innocuous) or fifteen feet above flood stage (a disaster). Or anywhere in between. Or below flood stage. Every river, every spring, is different.
